Apples are a wonderful fall treat that combine so well with all of the warming spices of cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, ginger and allspice. They are a perfect addition to the holiday table as well as for snacks and everyday dinners. Whether you eat them raw with a caramel dip or sauteed with pork loin or cooked into applesauce or baked into a dessert, apples are a versatile favorite for fall and winter meals.

Eat Seasonally!
Seasonal Eating is all about eating what is growing here and now. A tomato doesn’t taste nearly as good in January when it is out-of-season as it does in July when it comes directly from the grower to you or to the grocery store. Produce eaten when it is in-season tastes better and maintains more of its nutrients. Eating with the seasons also helps reduce transportation, saving gas and emissions, as well as helps to support our local growers and local economy.
To eat seasonally, try growing your own produce this Spring and Summer to use throughout the growing season and preserve what you can’t use through freezing or canning. Another option is to frequent the local farmer’s markets. Even when shopping at the grocery stores, focus on what is seasonal for that month.
